Melissa Heller

(She/Her)

Melissa Heller is a wide-ranging costume artist who has called Portland home for twenty years. A graduate of Oregon State University's Apparel Design program, she has designed and managed costume shops for Bag&Baggage Productions (Resident Designer for over a decade), Pacific University, Lakewood Center for the Performing Arts, NW Dance Project, Orpheus PDX, and many others. These days she has found her happiest place between a glue gun and a dye pot, with the occasional design project keeping things gloriously interesting. Portland Center Stage Costume Crafts credits include Lizard Boy and The Brothers Size. She is grateful for every season at PCS and sends love to her two best guys at home.
